Tags used inside menu items

I am looking for a way to make drupal menus look a bit better.

Can you explain this a little more. What are you trying to do exactly? In principle you can use reptag to replace tags in almost every location. The problems with menu items are: 1. there is no hook to alter menu items on the fly and 2. most menu items are cached and cant be changed dynamically. However you can use reptag in a custom module to create menu items which contain replacement tags, of course. But there will be no out of the box solution to 'reptag' menu items!

AFAIK you cant use images as menu items with the menu.module, because html is not allowed in the item titles. I think you will need to handle this on the theme layer (using phptemplate). You should post to the forums to get more help on this.

For more information on how to use reptag in your custom php code you should read developer.txt. Basically you need to call reptag_replace() on your text:

$text = 'text with a $tag$ inside';
$text = reptag_replace($text);
echo $text; // $tag$ is replaced now

I will be happy to help you with issues regarding reptag, but you should first ask at the forums for help on the basic problem ...
